[They use a picture from the Clinton performance in this article and it really was exciting. I was online at that time. I was on Prodigy, but I was not posting about music. I was talking about television. It would have been a wonderful time to see what other FM fans were saying about the reunion]

Though they began as a blues band of some note in England in 1967 and became better known through a succession of pop-minded leaders from Danny Kirwan to Bob Welch in subsequent years, Fleetwood Mac became a superstar band in the mid-1970s with the addition of Californians Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

After a couple of blockbuster albums and some other very popular ones, they began to splinter. Now, with singer-songwriter Christine McVie's return, the band's current tour is its first since 1998 to feature the full, most popular lineup.

The band will perform Sunday night at 8 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Here's a Fleetwood Mac refresher by the numbers:

•8: Years Fleetwood Mac existed before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1975.
•34: Highest chart rank for the band before 1975.
•5: Millions of copies sold of the No. 1 1975 album "Fleetwood Mac."
•20: Millions of copies sold to date of the 1977 follow-up, "Rumours."
•6: Rank of "Rumours" on list of all-time best-selling albums.
•1: No. 1 singles in Fleetwood Mac's history. It was 1976's "Dreams."
•1987: Buckingham quits the band, replaced on tour by Billy Burnette and Rick Vito.
•16: Total Fleetwood Mac members over the years.
•2: Members of Fleetwood Mac who have been in every incarnation (luckily, the two who lent their names to the band: drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie).
•16 Years: since Christine McVie was part of Fleetwood Mac before returning last year.
•71: Age of Christine McVie.
•7: Number of McVie-led songs in the current tour.
•8: Songs reportedly finished for the reunited band's upcoming new album, due out next year.
•27: Age, in years, of the newest songs played on current Fleetwood Mac tour.
